we can think of besides eating Slim Jims while burning those
candles. These adorable Moose Candle holders come with 4
candles each (4 + 4 = 8 total). Guaranteed to smell up any

Description:
Iconic moment when Justin Savidis lifted intrepid lead dog Louisa Mae to touch
the burled arch was captured by Iditarod photographer Jeff Schultz. Happy
tears were shed by plunderers everywhere. This moment can be your very
own keepsake to remember the strength and endurance of the 2014 Snowhook Team.
And what makes this print so extra special is that it is autographed by
musher Justin Savidis and Best Damn Handler Wife Rebecca Savidis.
It is an 8x12 print, in a black wooden frame, for you to proudly display
your love of Snowhook and the Iditarod.

Description:
Jem's nose and beautiful blue eyes were looking out as Iditarod Photographer
Jeff Schultz snapped a photo of him waiting for the start of Iditarod 2014.
He went on to finish the race and make his sponsors proud. This
print is 5x7, and is in an aluminum frame engraved with Jem's name and team.
Gotta love that nose!

Description: In 1957, my father (a chemist,
then accountant, but a man with the soul of an artist) took this picture of the
purple irises in my grandmother's garden. The picture reminds me of our
heart friend, Melanie, and her love for Snowhook. I felt it is a beautiful
tribute to auction so I had the picture reproduced and enlarged. The
print is 8X10 and is double matted and framed ready to hang.

Description: This Zuni style Fetish Bear is all dressed up in
purple glory, in memory if a Beloved Friend.

Made of soft, lavender colored sandstone, the top

swirls and pheasant feathers embellish the leather, and on the Bear's back is a
natural crystal, dug by Storytelling hands in the wilds of New Mexico.

This Bear who symbolizes Courage, Laughter and
Friendship would love to come and live in your home, or might be a perfect gift
for someone who needs to have a little happy bling in their life.

Description:
This offer is for a rare vintage chicken watering system. It is thick glass
that is easy to clean. You upend a regular sized canning jar (not included)
full of water onto the glass watering system (base) and the water comes out as
the chickens drink it. Really cool and useful. May be used as a unique
decoration or, of course, for chicken watering. Only three of these rare and
beautiful items are available.

This is
an interesting and useful thing for all the chicken lovers out there.

Description:
Rare and very special this vanilla was created on June 21st, the
longest day of the year. The Vanilla beans were sliced open and the seeds painstakingly
removed and then seeds and all were dunked in the vodka. Homemade
vanilla takes 6 months to mature so it will be ready for use at the winter
solstice. It should be stored in a cupboard out of direct light and shaken up
every week or so just to help it diffuse into the alcohol. This will be the
best vanilla you have ever used. It already smells yummy.

No, darn
it, it can not be certified gluten free because the vodka was distilled from
grains....and I don't know which grains.

Description: Remember those really really soft
pillowcases that Staff offered last year? Well this is softer! It is so soft
that everyone who touches it wants it. That is why I had to have it for the
auction. I wish I could push a corner of it through the screen so you could
give it a tiny touch. It is made from 'double cuddle' so you know it is
soft as AbbietheKitty's tummy fur.

This cheeta print throw is 60 inches (or five feet)
square and is perfect for lounging in the recliner or for curling up on the
couch. Your choice. It is machine washable and dryable and is very light weight
while being thick and cuddly.

You could even toss it over the dog bed and make a dog
very happy, but I bet Daddy Dog will abscond with it again. Sigh. Poor doggies.

Description: We are Siamese if
you please. Twin Salt and Pepper Shakers who look smack-dab like Blu-Kat. Who
can resist their sparkling blue eyes (which the photo does not capture all that
well). Believe me they are sparkling because who knows what these two Siamese
will get up to when you leave the house.

Description: Every mother's dream to
be tied down by twin baby Kats. I think these guys grew up to be Salt and
Pepper Shakers, but I am not sure. One thing is for sure these guys are not
leaving their mothers side anytime soon.

Description: Meet Bozo and Garbonzo
Bean of the Boston Bean Terrier family. Playful and silly they will entertain
you all day long if you let them. These little figurines are priceless and have
been in our friends family for dawg knows how long.
